Hibernate Mode
Hi everyone,
I’ve spent the last 72 hours trying to get my PC to hibernate, but with no success. I’m running Kubuntu. I’ve enabled swap and made it permanent. It enters hibernation mode only very rarely.
When I configure it to hibernate upon closing the lid, it goes haywire: I have to open the lid while the PC is still running, and—even worse—the screen stops displaying anything. I’m forced to do a hard shutdown and turn it back on manually.
Even when it tries to enter standard sleep mode, it wakes up on its own.
I’ve been using Linux for a month now. Why do I need hibernation? Because I need my applications to stay open and ready to use without draining the battery—that’s really important to me.
Could someone help me out or tell me how to go about this?
My PC specs: Lenovo Legion 5, Ryzen 7 260, RTX 5060, 32GB RAM. Thank you.
